Inflammatory headlines are "Clickbait", and I am not immune to falling for them.

"Social Security recipients set to face an $18,000 benefit cut in just seven years" is the most recent culprit in my Google feed - with an image of a Social Security check with a wrecking ball smashing straight through it.

The good news is the headline is pretty far from reality for most people, and I explain why.

Listen in to understand who might actually be impacted, and why most people actually won't.
